Jackrit’s place was exactly what I was looking for. I needed a home base in Bangkok because the plan was to visit other cities in Thailand but always keeping a home base there which is where we flew into and were flying out of. Jackrit met us personally and explained how everything worked.
The condo is small (small studio) but it has everything you need. The bed is big and comfy, the view is amazing, the WiFi is great, the kitchen has all you need to prepare your meals (no oven) and I liked the shower a lot.
The location is far from everything touristy but that’s what I wanted, to be away from the hustle and bustle.
The 5th floor is amazing. For $30, $40 or $50 baht you can wash your clothes (amount depends on load size) and $10 baht for 9 minutes of drying time. The Value mart downstairs is convenient, open 24/7, where you can get detergent, soap, toilet paper, wipes, fruit, bread, eggs, beer, juice, water, etc. Starbucks is downstairs too. There’s a MAKRO close by (think BJ’s), you don’t have to be a member to shop there.
On the 5th floor is the gym, the library, the social room (pool table, bar, tv’s, etc) and the swimming pools with the lounge chairs and swinging cabanas. Really beautiful.
The building is very secure and beautiful. Entrance to the building, to the 8th floor (condo) and to the 5th floor is only accessible with your key card, so don’t lose it.
If Jackrit’s place is available when I return to Thailand, I will book it. I definitely recommend it. Thank you Jackrit!!!
